Writer, performance artist, sex worker and parent Frankie van Kan explores queering the parenting narrative as part of M/OTHER's free Soapbox Series. 

Queer parenting offers us new ways and new words to think about what a family looks like outside of the traditional expectations about gender, sexuality and ‘motherhood’. 

Frankie Valentine is a queer parent using love and compassion to explore pleasure, make art and raise a child. As a writer, performance artist and sex worker, Valentine’s practise explores the liberation of the body, queerness, sex and sexuality to rethink heteronormative narratives. 

Between M/OTHER panels, meet us as the Moat as Valentine takes to the soapbox to explore queer parenting, discuss the highs and lows of co-parenting, and examine the benefits to children and parents who find ways to parent that consider the needs of all parties 

This is the second Soapbox event taking place over M/OTHER. You can also hear from podcaster and writer Madison Griffiths on Friday 3 March, and radio host and writer Jacinta Parsons on Sunday 5 March.
